I'm new to my company and enthusiastic about using the in-house wiki to capture some common knowledge. The in-house wiki is Doku and it was installed by someone no longer on staff. Everyone hates it and no one really gets it.

There was a previous wiki attempt that also fell flat so there is some resistance to trying a third.

My current issues are that my Bold only produces highlight. I don't see any way to change my user password. I can't get a new section started with pages under it for my new initiative. I'm only able to add pages to an existing structure. I still can't figure out how to set up a template for my new section pages so that they all have the same logo at the top.

I've been reading the forum and the help pages and documentation for a week now, but aside from finally figuring out that deleting a page is as simple as emptying it and saving it, I've not had any other great insight.

If you have some very, very basic direction for someone who inherited and did not install this, I would be interested.

Not sure what you mean by highlight, but that is a CSS issue and was probably setup that way by your previous maintainer. See the template directory lib/tpl/<template_name> and check the css files for bold text.

there seem to be some emotions on your side and your situation may be challanging ...

It looks like you are trying to solve all issues at once, to do it stepwise maybe better approach. You should ask your users what pain points currently exist and give them some different severities. That is focussing your work, delivers a continuity on progress you can report and finally improves user satisfaction due to they are part of the evolution.

Search the dokuwiki.org and forum in the event a hurdle is coming up. I would recommend you to download http://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki_on_a_stick, what is an offline DW version. We (not the forum) are using it as fall-back solution if Intranet access is not possible or testing issues (e.g. on travel, at customers site, for training purposes, testing new plugins, etc.). There you can do some practical excercises like testing features, plugins and your adaptations to the template you are using. If you tried but nothing of that helping you to proceed then raise a question and you will get the help.

This helped a lot. In fact, it helped so much that I got busy rearranging the pages into the sections that I wanted.

Taggic, your site looks very clean. Nice template.

My primary misunderstanding arose from the term "namespace." I just didn't connect that to what I wanted to achieve. Now it's clear and I've moved ahead quite a bit.

My next challenges are Templates and changing my d^mn password.

I really do not see how to get at the current template so I even know where it is and what it contains. I think I would like to start by changing it a little, e.g. add the company logo. But ultimately I'd like to master it so that it contains all the functionality I want.

The password thing is frustrating to me. Just seems like it should be a no-brainer. I expect to access some kind of user page, link or dropdown that leads me to an old password/new password/confirm new password set of fields and Bingo! But I'm just not finding that.

Thank you for your help. This has moved me along to reviving this handy tool for our department.

I do not see any option as "Update Profile." That's what's puzzling me.

The other option User Manager gives me a User list table with User, Realname, Email and Groups as columns. Each row has a check box. The Action buttons to the table are Delete Selected and Reset Search Filter.

The table below that is for Add User.

I do not see any way to edit the users. I seem to be able to delete them and add them.
